Laravel

1. Tue Jul 2

   • Actions in Laravel pass in a collection of models. On the index screen this could be hundreds but on the detail screen it is always exactly 1, the parent model.

   • This wasn't quite as easy to grok without attaching a debugger but this makes complete sense now.

     /**
      * Perform the action on the given models.
      *
      * @param  \Laravel\Nova\Fields\ActionFields  $fields
      * @param  \Illuminate\Support\Collection  $models
      * @return mixed
      */
     public function handle(ActionFields $fields, Collection $models)
     {
         $count = 1;
         foreach ($models as $model) {
             $count = $this->generateCodes($model->id, $model->code_type_id, $fields->number);
         }
         return Action::message("$count codes were successfully created.");
     }

Phoenix Framework

1. Sat Jun 29

   • Initial commit
   • Changes to .gitignore for VSCode integration and to remove /config/*.secret.exs. It's unclear if this was present in the earlier version of Phoenix and I weirdly need to add it. It's also possible that I just followed along with the up and running guide.
   • Added editorconfig from .editorconfig for Elixir projects · GitHub
